This is an impressive level of both desperation and arrogance.
I can imagine Dewhurst staffers sitting around trying to think of things they can use to attack him with.
(claps hands) “Remember, people. Cruz’s supporters are ignorant Tea Party rabble you would never see at your country club, so whatever we come up with has to offend the Bible thumping, BBQ, NASCAR and gun nut crowd.”
“We can’t really attack him for being a Mexican, because we would lose the Tex-Mex vote.”
“We tried calling him an OU supporter, but nobody believes that. Same with him hating western music, being rude to women, and being a secret Muslim New Yorker. Just didn’t fly.”
“The focus group actually liked him better when we told them he’d been abducted by space aliens.”
“How about communists and pedophiles?”
“Well, the Tea Party vouches for him not being a commie, but if we say he’s a pedo, he’ll sue our buns off. So why don’t we sort of say that he sort of supports them, in some sort of roundabout way that won’t get us in trouble?”
“He uses salsa that’s made in New York City.”
